SUGGESTIONS.
MINOR CHILDREN.

The number Of minor children entitled to PEN
sion is diminishing and must continue rapidly
to diminish. l respectfully suggest that the ad-
ditional amount allowed them Of s. per month
is inadequate for their ordinary support. This
is far less in amount than the cost of the sup
port of charity children in any of our great in
stitutons, no odds how ably conducted, and
there should be enough allowed, which, coupled
with reasonable exertion upon their part,

desire to renew my recommendations made
in my reports for 1885 and 1856 az to additional
legislation in behalf of these who are afflicted
with deafness from the service. The present
rate IS not commensurate with the degree of
disability resulting. and I respectfully recon-
mend that total of $50 per month for total
deafness, with intermediate grades, to be de-
termined according to the degree of disability J

under this provision is and would be very
small, and the amount to be disbursed incon-

was Sergeant in the regiment. He
contracted a malady which would have teen
at the time sufficient reason for his discharge
from the military service, but he waived this
right given by his condition and served with
gallantry and distinction, followed by his
maiady, it is true, through more than four
years OF war. At the end of the war he was
mustered out as full Colonel and Brevet Brig
adier-General, having won every step inter-
mediate by honorable service. He died shortly
after of the disorder which had followed when
he first entered the army
In allowing the pension. the claim being well
established, the Commissioner was obliged to
say to the widow, that under existing law the
only pension that could be allowed her was
that OF the widow Of a Sergeant, and that all
that her husband had since herOically per-
formed availed nothing in determining her pc
cuniary rights. The suggestion of the Commits
sloner IS that the rank. subsequently acquired
bona fide, should be considered by the Commits
sioner in determining tde amout Of pension to
be allowed.

would prevent them from suffering. The
amount of s. per month does not seem to me
excessive.
DATE OF DEPENDENCE.
/ respectfully suggest that the phraseOlogy
of the act of June 10, 1850, should be amended
to conform to the wise and kind intention of its
trainers Under the proper construction of that
act its benefits are limited TO those who were
entitled to its benefits at the very date of its
approval, and those who subsequently, from
aggrayation of their malady, become totally
helpless are barred from its privileges.
DATE OF WIDOWS PENSION.
Under existing law a widows pension GER
titcate can only bear date from the day on
which she files her application. Our knowl-
edge OF the sacred relations of husband and
wife makes us know that the last thought
which often occurs to the widow is that of the
pecuniary results of DEATH Moreover there is
sense of delicaey which prevents a woman
from Immediately making application to be
availed of the results of her husbands death,
and so between cares, delicacy, and sometimes
Ignorance Of right, long intervals eIapse be-
tween the death of the husband and the filing
of the application of the widow. In such cases
as may hereafter arise it seems TO me that the
law should allow the commencement of the
pension TO date from the death of the husband,
where the other conditions required by the
law arc present.

II beg to call attention to the fact that during
the last year the Secretary Of the Interior pre-
sented to Congress request for q medication

be graded according to the rank Of the claim

without regard to the fact that such claimant
might subsequently, have been promoted for

PAYMENTS TO UNFIT PERSONS.

/ respectfully recommend that the law be so
altered and amended as that the Commissioner
of Pensions shall be authorized TO order the
payment of pension to the wife Of pensioner
or to n suitable person in behalf of the children
of a pensiOner, in cases where the pensOuer
shows by his habits chat he is an unfit person
to receive or disburse such pension, or because
OF his incompetence. not arising perhaps to the
degree OF lunacy, but such as to prove him
spendthFift, or in cases where he is an inebri-
ate or in eases where his money is spent upon
improper persons or in improper ways. The
law rs at present existing limits the power Of
the Commissioner very greatly in this partic-
ular, and authorizes him to direct payment to
the wife or guardian only in eases of insanity
or other mental incapaeity. or Imprisonment
for OfEenses against the laws. Payments so
ordered made to any person other than the
pensioner for the benefit of the wife or children
should Of course be made only upon bond
properly executed.
The commencement Of the period of depend
ence on the part of father or mother in order
to establish the right to pension is now fixed at
the soldiers death. i respectfully suggest that
tho recognition Of dependence and the claim of
the father and mother upon the son for sup
port is too narrowly bounded by fixing the Pc
riOd of dependence at the moment of the death
of the son. If the condition of dependence has
arisen without fault OF the father or mother at
q period subsequent TO the death of the SON
that is if that condition Of affairs is shown to
exist without fault upon the part Of the parents,
which if the son had been living would have
thrown the burden Of support upon him, that
condition, it seems TO me, should be recognized
in the law. The greater the age the greater

beg to call attention to the fact that the act
OF March 3, 1877, discriminates unjustly against
claimants who, having previously served in the

AMPUTATIoNs.

Some discretion should be lodged in the Com
missioner in correcting discrepancies in rates
OF pension for loss of limbs, or Congress should
be asked by direct enactment to establish
table of rates for loss Of limbs. The existing
laws upon this point are inharmonious and are
unjust. THERE'S no sufficient reason why, if
the amputation Of leg at the hip joint enti-
ties claimant to Si5 per month, the loss of a
leg and arm should together be rated &C but
S36. If, again, SIS be taken as a proper pen
sion for leg amputated at the hip Joint, then
the disability for performing manual labor
from the loss Of the foot and the hand should
not be graded at a less figure. There are in
stances in which the loss Of single limb is an
entire disablement for the performance of
manual labor, in consequence of the nervous
and other affections which follow There are
certainly many instances in which the loss of
two members Of the body is followed by an
equally great disability.
